Mediaite reports: The timing here is…not well done. Amid overlapping economic and public health crises and nearly eight weeks after the election, Donald Trump tweeted out a hagiographic, campaign-style video cheerleading his presidency, which mimicked the old, “Beef… It’s what’s for dinner” marketing blitz. The one-minute video released on Monday afternoon overlays patriotic displays and campaign trail images of Trump …

“Deaths are going down, cases are going up, so no fun for America. Okay. Now, a few states, of course, have seen the rise in positive cases, but again, the daily death rate has been dropping like a rock since peaking in April. This is actually good news. “We’re getting closer to herd immunity in some sectors of the United …

“Every subject, every extracurricular activity will be perverted to turn your kids into mini-Ilhan Omars. They’re gonna learn that capitalism is racist, history as conventionally taught is racist, literature, most of that’s racist, patriotic songs, racist. “And the Declaration and the Constitution? Of course, they’re racist. Are you sensing a theme here? Well, say goodbye to the three ‘R’s’ — …

“Sacrificing the kids to beat Trump. That is the focus of tonight’s Angle. In early April, I began to warn about the damage extended lockdowns would have on America. “And since then, we have experienced millions of job losses, added trillions to our debt, and experienced terrible riots. But one of the first things that happened, and the worst things …

“Joe Biden, Is he really fit to serve as the commander in chief? They asked this question in 1984 about Ronald Reagan, but does Joe Biden have the mental alertness? Does he have the stamina? Does he have the strength to take on what is the hardest job in the world? “And by the way what’s going to happen when …

Media Matters reports: On June 26, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy commented that “125,000 Americans have died so far” of COVID-19.

The New York Times reports: China has stepped up its effort to spread misinformation on Twitter, creating tens of thousands of fake accounts that discussed protests in Hong Kong and the Communist Party’s response to the coronavirus, Twitter said on Thursday.

Mediaite reports: On Monday, police and National Guard troops descended on peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park in order to clear the way for Trump to stroll over to St. John’s Episcopal Church so he could pose with a Bible like it was some award from a group he’d never heard of but was still willing to accept an award from …

“It is so infuriating that the Congress has done nothing to protect the public from censorship, that it’s hard to even express it out loud. It’s really shameful, in my view. How can you have a free and fair election when opinions are being aggressively censored to favor one side? “I’m just thinking that maybe someone in the federal bureaucracy, …

“None of these lockdown liberals should get a penny more in bailout money so long as they continue this lockdown stuff. Because the longer they stay locked down and you have all these other onerous and unnecessary restrictions in place, the more difficult, the more expensive, and I’d say the more dangerous it becomes for their states — the longer …

Deadline Hollywood reports: A federal judge in San Diego dismissed One America News Network’s defamation lawsuit against Rachel Maddow, MSNBC and Comcast, concluding that Maddow was stating her opinion when she said that the right-leaning channel “really, literally is paid Russian propaganda.” “Considering the totality of the circumstances—including the general context of the statements, the specific context of the statements, …

“It is so unseemly for a former president to take the virtual commencement ceremony for a series of historically black colleges and universities and turn it into a political drive-by shooting. “I mean, you know, this is a moment where these young graduates could be inspired to a life of service, to, you know, recognize that life is going to …

“Democrats – they just prefer us to cower and crouch in our houses. They are pushing — a friend of mine called it today, panic porn. They say we need multiple vaccines, not just one, but multiple. “They say the vaccines, even if we have them, we don’t know how effective they will be. They say we need as many …

Media Matters has the transcript: BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Real quick, Pete just your thoughts in 20 seconds, about 78,000 are dead, we understand how many got the virus and will. I get it. But at the same time, can you get the military mindset with the masses of, take on the enemy because we have no choice — sitting on …

The New York Post reports: The Russians are coming — and this time they’re looking to recruit US journalists who have lost their jobs because of the coronavirus. RT America, a newsgathering unit of Moscow-based media company RT, is looking to beef up its US staffing ahead of the 2020 election, a flurry of recent job postings shows. Formerly called …

“Comrade de Blasio, if President Trump didn’t bail your sorry unprepared ass out, guess what? Many more New Yorkers in your city would’ve died, many more would have been infected, many more would’ve been hospitalized then nobody would’ve had a ventilator. “Instead New York City, thanks to President Trump – you can thank him Mr. Mayor – is seeing, thankfully, …

The Daily Beast reports: Multimillionaire primetime Fox News star Tucker Carlson labeled progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) a “child of privilege” on Monday night—just two weeks after his colleague Laura Ingraham mocked AOC over her bartender past.

Newsweek reports: In his first television appearance since the lifting of a 16-month-long gag order, former Trump adviser Roger Stone told Fox News host Tucker Carlson Friday that if he went to prison, it would be a “death sentence.” Stone was convicted in 2019 for obstructing a congressional investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

“I was watching that press briefing yesterday, I’m sure you guys saw it. The president comes out. I mean, this is like something I’ve never seen before.

The Washington Post reports: As he stares down a pandemic, economic collapse and a political crisis of his own, President Trump thinks he may have found a silver bullet: hydroxychloroquine.
